Troy reminds students of upcoming SUSI deadline

Local Fianna Fáil Minister of State Robert Troy has reminded students and families across the region that the deadline for SUSI grant applications is fast approaching.

Online applications for the 2025/2026 academic year must be submitted by this Thursday, November 6.

“SUSI makes a real difference for students in Westmeath and I want to ensure that no one misses out on the support they’re entitled to,” said Minister of State Troy.

He highlighted that more students than ever now qualify for SUSI and she encouraged families to check their eligibility.

“Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, it’s absolutely worth checking. The income thresholds have changed and many more households are now eligible for support," Minister Troy said.

For the 2025/2026 academic year, students from households with a reckonable income below €115,000 may be entitled to assistance.

“Going to college or university is a proud moment for any family and we need to ensure that every student and every household receives the support they need," he concluded.

Students who miss the November 6 deadline may still request a late application if their circumstances have changed or they face extenuating circumstances.

Late requests can be submitted using the Late Application Request Form available at www.susi.ie and emailed to lateapplications@susi.ie.
